Deirdre Nelson

Born in Northern Ireland, Deirdre Nelson (b. 1965) is a Glasgow-based textile artist. Her nomadic nature and interest in communities have allowed her to develop work for exhibition and on residencies both in UK and Australia. Research, humour and craft technique allow her to deal with relevant social and environmental issues whilst collaborating and engaging communities in the process. In 2008 Nelson received a Jerwood Makers Award.
